"Mr. Worf, dispatch a sub space message to Admiral Hanson."

"We have Engaged the Borg"

[sundragonra412]

This theme sends chills down my spine every time I hear it. It is amazing!

Back when the Borg were scary

[TheOneUntakenName]

"Joker, dispatch a message to the Citadel. We have engaged the Reapers."

@sundragonra412 It's criminal how they fired Ron and his work after season four. Berman wanted "atmospheric" music that faded into the background like boring sonic wallpaper, rather than music that was an active part of the storytelling.

Name one TNG episode after season four with a memorable soundtrack. With the possible exception of "The Inner Light", I'll bet you can't.

It's amazing how the music in TNG went from truly original to absolutely mundane by season 5. Personally, I love some of the earliest season 1 episodes scored by Ron Jones (Where No One Has Gone Before is excellent).

Everyone knows Berman is an idiot. He thought the music was distracting people from the story of Star Trek. That's why Voyager and DS9 have elevator music. Berman also personally instructed the Voyager actors playing humans to "act less" because if the human acting was too good, it would take away from the Alien performances... facepalm.

@LtRacjack12 All this time I thought it was my imagination. Thanks for clearing that up.

@clark85 of course according to the Rick Berman school of logic in television, music adds nothing to the scenes. Season 3-4 were the very best of TNG with good writing and music, by season 5 it started to decline for good.

@LtRacjack12 so thats wut happened. I always wondered what happened to the great theme music from the middle seasons. Voyager even worse!

Your lives, as it has been, is over...

Rick Berman started to run Star Trek to the ground when he got rid of this awesome composer and gave us ELEVATOR music for the final seasons of TNG and Generations.
